Chapter 169 Smirnoff

…

"Your seat is taken."

Miyagawa Ryo doesn't hate the organized gatherings, because every time they happen, it's a good opportunity to watch a show or stir up trouble.

However, this was the first time someone reminded him of this.

The man dressed as a waiter, after giving this cautious reminder, didn't dare to say anything more.

Miyagawa Ling lowered his head and played with the umbrella in his hand. It had rained not long ago, and now the raindrops were dripping down the umbrella onto the ground, but no one dared to complain.

"Which one?" His voice was scattered.

The waiter froze for a moment before reacting and whispering even more quietly, "Smirnoff."

"Give me a cup."

The waiter lowered his head: "Yes."

Miyakawa Ling threw the umbrella to the waiter: "No need to lead the way, go and prepare the bar."

The waiter agreed, stopped, and watched him walk into the depths alone.

When Miyagawa Ling pushed open the door, there were already quite a few people sitting inside, including Bourbon, a man with blond hair and dark skin.

At this moment, the other party was chatting with another code member, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

After seeing him come in, Bourbon raised his glass, smiled wider, and said affectionately: "Ling, you are finally here!"

Most people looked at Bourbon with a mixture of admiration and fear. Only a few new code members looked up with caution or indifference.

Miyakawa Ling closed the door and said, "Although we are indeed very good friends, I prefer you to call me Magno in such a grand occasion."

Magno!

The newcomer's expression changed a little when he knew this code name!

Hondou Eikai in the corner had dark eyes filled with hidden hatred.

Bourbon smiled and said, "We are different from others. Ling, how about sitting next to me?"

Miyagawa Ling said hesitantly: "This really makes it difficult for me..."

Contrary to his tone, his steps went straight to the position that originally belonged to him.

Everyone looked at him and walked towards Smirno, the most popular code member recently.

Smirnoff is a mixed-race of two countries. Judging from his appearance, he has fair skin, three-dimensional features, and big eyes. When he has no expression, he looks harmless, but also... empty and creepy.

And those blue-gray eyes were filled with unfathomable ruthlessness and ambition.

As Miyagawa Ling's code name was revealed, everyone present was more or less afraid of him. Only Smirno stared at Miyagawa Ling with his expression unchanged. His eyes even became more sinister.

"Smirnoff, right?" Miyakawa Ling didn't seem to notice the change in the atmosphere and greeted Smirnoff with a smile: "Can I sit next to you?"

Smirnoff stared at him coldly, as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Then I'll take that as your agreement!" Just as Miyakawa Ryo was about to sit down, Smirnoff suddenly shot at the chair!

"Bang!"

The loud gunshots plunged the entire room into silence.

In the air so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, Bourbon chuckled at an inopportune moment. The chuckle seemed to be mocking, but also seemed to be just watching a show.

Instead of getting angry, Miyakawa Ling smiled more gently: "We are all colleagues, don't you like me?"

Smirnoff said coldly, "Get away."

Another member of the Codename Team who had been standing blankly behind him also came to his senses at this moment. After hesitating for a long time, he made up his mind and stood in line: "Didn't you hear what Lord Smirnoff said? Get out of here!"

The reason why he chose Smirnoff was very simple - in the current situation of the organization, Gin and Rum were at loggerheads with each other, and although Miyagawa Ryo was directly under the boss and had great authority, the people below could not see this, and only thought that he was the same as Belmode, a little special, or perhaps not as powerful as Belmode.

And Smirno, a senior code member transferred back from abroad, managed to seize some power in a short period of time and became a third-party force!

Although it is certainly not as good as gin and rum, the fact that he can survive until now under such circumstances is the best proof of his ability!

The organization's resources are limited, and those who cannot get enough benefits from gin and rum will definitely want to get a piece of the pie from Smirnoff.

That's how men are.

"No matter who held this position before, it belongs to Lord Smirnoff now!" he said firmly.

Just then, Gin came in with Vodka.

When the people in the house saw Gin, they all thought that the farce was over for the time being. The man who spoke for Smirnoff also thought so and breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, he heard Magno's voice: "Gin~ I have done my best in the last mission, please don't be angry!"

His tone was light and cheerful, and people who didn't know him would think he was being coquettish with Gin.

Acting coquettishly with Gin... Just thinking about it is scary enough!

Just as the man was getting nervous, he heard Magno say, "How about I perform a show for you?"

Gin's cold eyes swept over him, and the man's body half froze. He understood that look so well!

He suddenly turned around and ran out!

Miyakawa Ling raised his eyes slowly: "This game is relatively unoriginal, but..."

"I've already chosen one of the three for you! All you have to do is watch it with anticipation!"

He moved his fingers, and the ordinary key flew out of his hand like a dagger.

It stabbed directly into the man's ankle!

In an instant, the man fell to the ground, blood gushing out.

Miyakawa Ling's eyes were gentle, yet full of morbid excitement: "Where should we proceed from here?"

He walked quickly to the man, looked him up and down, then, in the man's horrified eyes, squatted down, pulled out the key, and brought it close to his face.

Gin walked inside expressionlessly without even glancing at the scene, as if the incident of Magno brutally killing another Codename member in front of him had never happened.

Vodka followed silently, pretending not to see anything.

Smirnoff was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and gave the seat to Gin.

Gin glanced at him but didn't sit down. Smirnoff still changed his seat and sat next to Gin.

Everyone in the room had their own thoughts when they saw this scene.

Bourbon immediately suspected that Smirnoff was actually Gin's man, and even if he wasn't, he should have shown good intentions.

It's impossible...Smirno changed his position because he was afraid of Miyagawa Ryo.

But soon, his attention was drawn to the person screaming on the ground.

Bourbon's eyes darkened, and there was still a faint smile on his face, but it was only on the surface. He tightened his hand holding the wine glass.

The room was very quiet. Apart from the man's voice, even the breathing of others was very light.

Gin didn't say anything, and everyone just watched.

In this strange silence, Bourbon suddenly heard another voice:

[This time, the way I died was much better than before. 】

He looked coldly at the black-haired young man's profile.

Much better?

[At least there are no more pieces of meat scattered here and there.] A slightly complicated tone.

However, normal people would never kill others in this way. Even in the Black Organization, there are few such cruel people.

【Come to think of it, it takes me longer and longer to kill someone. 】

[It was just a matter of firing a gun at first... What are you doing now? ]

Bourbon finally realized something was wrong.

Because the tone of the other party's words didn't sound like a conversation, but more like what he was thinking, and...

Bourbon looked around quietly with his peripheral vision.

No one reacted to this.

It's like... they didn't hear it at all?

[Ring is probably thinking, did I do this on purpose to warn him?]

Bourbon stared at the other person and confirmed that the other person did not speak.

[I hope that after I kill someone, I will disappear... Don't add to the drama and say things that shouldn't be said.]

Fūya Rei's pupils shrank!

The words that Akai Shuichi said on the phone once again came to my mind.

And now...

He put down his glass, afraid that others would see his shaking hands.

The string of reason suddenly broke!

Is it true? Is it true?

What exactly does Ling mean?

Why can he hear?!

Is it hallucination? ! Is it real?

A deep fear that he realized belatedly caused cold sweat to break out on his back in an instant, and the blood in his body turned cold, as if it was covered by ice and snow.

If... the truth is really as it was once suspected and then overturned...

He couldn't believe how his friend had ended up like this.

【It's over.】

Following this voice, the black-haired young man stood up and turned around, his expression still happy and cheerful: "It's over! So, next one..."

His golden eyes, like the sickle of death, fell on Smirnoff.

The latter gripped his gun tightly and looked him in the eye.

"Magno." Gin finally spoke: "Have some sense."

"I don't want to! My game isn't over yet, Smirnoff, come play the next game with me!"

Smirnoff said with a sinister look, "If you dare to kill me, I will kill you."

Miyakawa Ling said considerately: "Then let's play a game to see who kills the other first?"

"..." Smirno stood up impulsively, but his body was in a defensive posture. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was very wary of Miyakawa Ling!

At the moment when the argument was tense, the waiter came in and said to Miyakawa Ling in a low but respectful voice: "Sir, the Smirnoff you ordered."

"What for me? Give it to Master Smirnoff."

The waiter walked up to Smirnoff with his head held high.

Smirnoff said in his unstandard Mandarin: "What do you want to do?"

Miyakawa Ling curled his lips, with a bit more viciousness in his eyes: "Gin doesn't want me to kill you, but you should know a little bit and know how to please me... What do you think?"

Gin looked at him coldly: "Let's finish it quickly."

All eyes were focused on Smirnoff, some with malicious ridicule.

It has not even been five minutes since Miyakawa Ling came in, but in these few short minutes, he has already told everyone what a height Magno stands at that no one else can match.

Code member, he kills if he wants to.

That is absolute power and status.

Smirnoff's face was gloomy and cold, but he slowly grasped the wine glass. With the crisp sound of ice cubes hitting the glass, he raised his hand and poured the whole glass of wine on his head.

The transparent liquid slid across his cheeks and soaked his clothes. Smirnoff walked to the place where he had fired the gun without saying a word and sat down.

"What a jerk." Miyakawa Ling picked up the glass of wine on the table, returned to the seat that originally belonged to him, and sat with his long legs crossed, looking elegant and leisurely.

He smiled, leaned over, and clinked his empty glass with Smirnoff's. "But we can continue to be friends from now on."

"Please give me your guidance." The young man smiled and casually splashed the wine in his hand on the other person's face.

"..." Smirnoff held the wine glass tightly: "Please give me more advice."
